One thing to note; although the research that found it’s way into the papers in August is flawed this does not mean that local authorities don’t need to improve their productivity. In fact, with massive budget cuts coming increased productivity is going to be one way of ensuring the continued delivery of high quality public services.

Still, it’s always nice to stick a couple of fingers up at some big-headed consultants!
